Favorite quote: It's a tie between:
"Jubilee, we come into this world alone...and we leave the same way. The time we spend inbetween...loving, living, learning...together....is all that makes life worth living." -- to Jubilee after Illyana's death, Uncanny X-Men #303.
And:
"You're a FIRECRACKER, Creed -- but I'm an ATOM BOMB!" -- Jean to Sabretooth, X-Men #28.
How many kids does she have?: Genetically, Cable, Phoenix 2, Stryfe, X-Man, and Mutant X Scotty. And not a single one of them came through her body first.
For that matter, how many times has she died?: Jean has died and come back (or never died at all depending on your viewpoint) five times. Once in the shuttle, once on the Moon, once in AoA, again in a raid on the Hellfire Club, and one last time 2000 years in the future, in a borrowed body. |

Best battle: Versus Sabretooth in X-Men #28. She completely trashes him :) I also enjoyed AoA Jean's battle with the Brain Trust, a group of extremely powerful telepaths bred without bodies.
Is it true that Prof.X had a 'thing' for her?: Yes indeed. This goes all the way back to the early days of the X-Men, when everyone and their brother had the hots for Jeannie, even Charles Xavier, the dirty old man. I've heard Stan Lee intended this as a joke. When the Prof. necame Onslaught, his secret passion was revelaed to her, and their relationship has been strained somewhat since then. Considering she was about 9 or so when they first met, his secret desire for her is rather sick, if you ask me. |
